The Hutcheson is a great betting race.

No idea yet, just recognize the names and think it will be a good betting race.

A good betting race is like pornography, you know it when you see it.

If Leave of Absence is a real horse, it's his day to prove it. He'll get an ideal set up here.

Yup - it certainly looks like a meltdown is imminent.

I always feel like speed holds up exceedingly well at GP.

I bet my guts out on him in the Holy Bull and, he never picked his feet up.

I suppose it's possible he doesn't like the track but, he needs to step up here with this pace scenario.

I think once you actually look, it wont be so great. The only other horse who I give a chance to is the Rick V from way back.
The track is a lot of speed though and they will have to run to beat the 1,3.

Crossbow, good luck. I'd like him alot more at a mile. he isn't a 7 furlong horse.

And I did look, but I let things digest before opinions. And those have sucked lately. I have done much much better just betting throughout the card and firing from the hip then having a plan and trying to execute it.

One opinion I have so far that if you are against To Honor and Serve off the layoff and strong possibility that he isn't 100%, Casper's Touch is very interesting to me. I was live for his last race and he galloped out strong after an impossible trip. While I consider Solis an anchor, he has been riding well this meet. Should get better fractions this time, and settle alot earlier 2nd off the shelf.

I just don't know how to feel about To Honor and Serve because those Payson works are super impressive if you go by the rule that the track is 2 second slow compared to a normal track.

Why can't you just say the horse's name? Seriously, it's irritating as fuc1<.

There are 3 horses in the Hutcheson I'm a fan of but, looking at the pp's, I can't see any of them (or anyone) beating Manicero.

They are quite a few that could win the Hutch but, Manicero is not one of them.

Oh whew thank God you posted this before I was able to actually play him.

There's only a 9 in 10 chance of being right as to who won't win so, while I appreciate your concern (since you obviously have a crystal ball), why not just post your pick?

I usually wait for things like scratches and actual odds before I make my selection.
Capping 2 days before the race is for eliminating horses like Manicero that can't win.

You can't escape him. He even made an appearance on the Zenyatta website with this gem, "@Hooves- not cool at all. I work with special needs people and have been accused of being one many times."

I saw someone post that here earlier in the day - I just assumed it was IC trolling as PG '85 on that site.
